The Polish government will spend some PLN 10-12 million on providing free textbooks for first grade students in 2014 versus PLN 137 million parents would have to spend for sets of textbooks, PM Donald Tusk and Education Minister Joanna Kluzik-Rostkowska said during a press conference.

The sum also includes funds for methodological trainings of teachers to prepare them for new textbooks, Kluzik-Rostkowska said.
